 I don't have high hopes for this one. It's an interesting study if anything, and I tried some new things.

Convert from RAW with EC adjustment. Then in PSP X2, rotate/crop, adjust levels/curves on each channel (blue especially), HSL for saturation boost, Sharpen, noise removal, resize, USM, JPG.

Beautiful green tones! :) Very sharp and light. The sunlight falling on the leaves produces an uplifting and joyous feeling. Nice work.

Nice - looks like maidenhair fern, but I'm guessing it is gingko.

The overlapping pattern of the shapes of the leaves create rhythm.
